The Epic Games Store continues its weekly ritual of offering free games to its users, with the latest freebies being the action RPG Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and the 2D puzzle game The Bridge. This tantalizing duo will be available for grabs from March 14 to March 21, replacing the current freebie, the quirky Astro Duel 2.
For those unacquainted with the Deus Ex universe, Mankind Divided is a thrilling entry in the acclaimed cyberpunk series, developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix in 2016. While it may not have garnered the same level of critical acclaim as its predecessor, Human Revolution, Mankind Divided still earned a mostly positive reception upon its release. The inclusion of such a AAA title as a free offering on the Epic Games Store is a rare treat, as the platform typically shies away from doling out big-budget blockbusters.
On the other hand, The Bridge, a 2D puzzle game that first hit the scene in 2013, received a more mixed response from critics, though its user base on Steam has embraced it with open arms, bestowing upon it a “Very Positive” rating. Regardless of its critical reception, the game’s inclusion in the free games lineup provides an opportunity for curious gamers to experience its mind-bending puzzles firsthand.
The current free game, Astro Duel 2, a day-one release on the Epic Games Store, will remain claimable until March 14, 2024. This quirky title blends platforming combat with top-down spaceship action, offering both competitive and cooperative modes for players to enjoy.
For those who have yet to delve into the Deus Ex universe, it might be wise to first explore its immediate predecessor, the well-received Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Both games have garnered a dedicated following among fans of the series, who have been patiently waiting for the next installment in the Deus Ex saga.
